It’s been around 12 months since Helen Jentz took on the role of CEO of ACE and, within that time, The Educator understands she has moved the organisation forward “in leaps and bounds”. Jentz has introduced a number of initiatives that highlight the critical importance of the education profession, including the establishment of the ASG/ACE Teachers’ Report Card and free pre-service student membership to the college. Additionally, she has overseen the development of the National ACE Conference to include cutting-edge international and national workshops and education leaders.
